NIOS 2 GERMS

I need something like GERMS to test my hardware on NIOS 2 /f CPU. What should I do?

Either use what KenLand said or use the Jtag uart. Using the Jtag uart is very simple since it can be used with printf and scanf (open helloworld.c to see an example of outputting from the NIOS II to the console).

Either way though, if you try the Jtag uart and it doesn't work right away for you then just go with GERMS (if you want GERMS so that you can just download your code easily then it's even easier with the Jtag UART)
